SELDOM SEEN TARGET FLAT TOP NEW SERVICE REVOLVER IN .44 RUSSIAN CALIBER, #26XXX, MADE 1911, WITH COLT LETTER.
Description: SELDOM SEEN TARGET FLAT TOP NEW SERVICE REVOLVER IN .44 RUSSIAN CALIBER, #26XXX, MADE 1911, WITH COLT FACTORY LETTER. Obviously, this rare big frame Colt has had a full and active life! The Colt letter states this Target New Service revolver in .44 Russian caliber and 7 1/2" barrel was shipped to Geller, Ward and Hasner Hardware Co., St. Louis, Missoure on February 20, 1911 as a shipment of 1 gun. It is basically a gray/brown gun overall with only some very aged blue in the cylinder flutes. It is complete except for the missing rear sight, which was a simple affair adjustable for windage by an adjustment screw in the right side which is still intact. This was a class act with checkered back strap, front strap and trigger. It also featured fancy diamond checkered walnut grips which are fine and show normal wear. The correct 7 1/2" barrel has the last patent date on top of 1905 with the Colt address. The "stylized C" rampant colt on the left side of the frame is visible. The wonderful hand tuned action needs to be felt to be fully appreciated with light trigger pull and tight lock up when the hammer is released- which is when these Colt cylinders lock up for firing. The bore is fairly bright with fine rifling and only some light scattered roughness. The chambers in the cylinder will accept a .44 Special cartridge which may have been done at the factory as the more modern .44 Special was introduced in 1907 and many of these guns were marked for Russian and Special Cartridges. This one might be a good candidate for a complete restoration...or just leave it as a survivor of a different time in America 111 years ago.
